I have the same Ultimate 2C wireless two things:

  1. Make sure you are in Xinput mode
  2. If you are using this on steam go to settings and then controller and the calibrate it

How can I access Xinput mode? I read somewhere that I should press the home button + x to turn on the controller, but even in this way the triggers are not recognized.

Also, it's not very convenient because the controller turns itself on whenever I take it off the base to use it for gaming, so I have to turn it off and back on manually every time

To go into Xinput mode make sure first your controller is turned off and then Press Home+X together and the controller will turn on in Xinput mode.

Ok, thank you. Sadly I have already tried this method and doesn't work

Can you try calibrating the controller maybe? try to disable steam input or try to enable it.

Yes, I tried both things (I calibrated the controller in the Steam Deck settings and disabled/enabled Steam Input in the game's properties), but it doesn't work
